A unique opportunity to directly impact practice through your research
Far too often, a gap exists between current research and frontline services to children and families. While those who care for vulnerable children want to apply the best knowledge in their work, many factors can make this difficult. Program managers often face overwhelming needs daily, with little time to seek out, read, and take action based on the findings of academic studies. There is a tremendous need for academic researchers to creatively bridge the gap between research and frontline services.
